Snaps from "Zinda Laash" - the first vampire movie of Asia

Well, here it is, the first Vampire Movie of Asia. Yeah, it's a Pakistani Movie. Whoaaaaaaa Lollywood have been amazing in beginning, it's realy hard to believe but that's true..... wooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww :D

Zinda Laash is a 1967 Pakistani Urdu feature film, directed by Khwaja Sarfraz. It is produced by Abdul Baqi, a Lollywood film starring by Asad Bukhari, Habib, Deeba, Rehan, Nasreen .Zinda Laash is also known as Dracula in Pakistan and The Living Corpse . It is the first movie in Pakistan to be X-rated.Plot synopsisProfessor Tabini is experimenting on an elixir that he believes will beat death. When he tries it on himself, however, things don’t work out as planned and he dies. When his assistant finds him no longer among the living, she carries him down stairs and slaps him into the crypt in the basement. Unfortunately for her, he rises from the grave and chomps down on her neck.InspirationsThe plot borrows heavily from Hammer Horror's Horror of Dracula, in fact there are times when the music even has a noticeable similarity to James Bernard's score. There are some classical themes thrown in as well. "The Barber of Seville" is playing during the car chase scene and some other cues which are well eccentric to say the least. Some elements of the plot even come directly from Bram Stoker's novel, not from "Horror of Dracula". Zinda Laash is also referenced in Omar Khan's Zibahkhana, usually termed as its sequel.
